I
Your fiery existence
Cast a sneer shadow.
You eclipsed the world,
amorphous, murmuring apparition
dwelling in the distance, now.
II
Ages have passed
in silent, shapeless enduring.
You gave me the voice, the form,
crimson as blood,
blissfully dark as soul unexplored,
mystifying as a secret,
calmly revealing as a dawn
after the night I witnessed war.
